http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1dzb4_rip-jim-ross_fun Yes, sadly we're not quite done with Jim Ross on this list. In October of 2005, Ross was fired in an angle, because he was having serious problems with his colon in real life. He needed time off. Just days after having major surgery, Vince McMahon took this opportunity to mock his employee of a dozen years in a crude and unnecessary skit. For some reason only known to Vince, he wanted to recreate the surgery for millions of fans. It was the boss himself starring as "Dr. Heiney", because this 50-plus year old man has always had the humor of a five-year-old. The skit was just one object after another being pulled out of Ross' backside. None of them funny. It went on for way too long, and the payoff was a mannequin head being pulled out of the dummy Ross' butt, and McMahon saying that Ross had his head up his ass. Seven minutes for that? Besides being mean, the segment meant absolutely nothing. It didn't lead to a feud, it didn't go anywhere. It was just a reason for an aging, power crazy multi-millionaire to have some fun at a sick man's expense.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
